Late North Shore Rescue team leader Tim Jones was inducted into the SFU Clan Athletics Hall of Fame on Monday.
Jones is the second person to be inducted into the Terry Fox Honourary Inductee category - the first being Fox himself.
He played four years of collegiate football with SFU, finishing in 1978 before going to the Toronto Argonauts in the 1978 CFL draft.
During his post-football career, he worked with North Shore Rescue for more than 25 years, participating in more than 1,600 rescues. He was awarded the Order of B.C. in 2011, and was given an honourary doctorate by Capilano University in 2012.
In addition to his volunteer work with the rescue team, Jones also served as an advanced life support paramedic with BC Ambulance Service.
He died suddenly on Jan. 19 on his way to the parking lot from NSR's Mount Seymour cabin.
Also entering the hall of fame this year are six athletes: Harold Willers (track and field), Sara Maglio (soccer), Eugene Gyorfi(swimming and diving), Ed Sernoski (wrestling), Andrea Schnider (basketball) and Jim Jardine (football); men's basketball coach Stan Stewardson; Dr. Jack Taunton in the builder's category; and the 2001-02 women's basketball team.
The 2014 induction class was honoured Monday at a luncheon at the university. Jones' son Curtis accepted the induction on his father's behalf.
